Morning workout w/cardio...what should i eat before?..catabolic???

Protein factory (MCT)

thanks for the link....i kinda knew what mct's were but didnt know they could provide energy quicker than sugars.

here;s the timeline

6:00am wakeup
6:20am out the door
6:30 arrive at gym

so about 7:15-7:30 i would be starting my cardio.

In that case I would drink a protein drink soon as you wake up with some simple carbs, or skip the carbs and have a protein shake with flax or fish oil...then hit the carbs heavy after your workout.

I agree with JG here, without the carbs, if you are cutting use oats for carbs postworkout, if not cutting than you can pretty much load up on sugars.
